Other Macro Examples
A macro can also be used as a custom LUT. Just copy the macro’s .setting file to the LUTs: folder, and the macro will be selectable in the viewers as a LUT. These LUT macros can be used for more than just a color adjustment; you could make a macro that does YUV 4:2:2 resampling, a resize, a sharpening filter, or just watermarking.
